Maybe this question seems stupid, so be it. But I’ve seen mostly bad news, and I struggle to get away from it.
I want to know this: What do you think is going to be good and or great in the upcoming four years of us politics?
don’t give a shit about MAGA but I’m all for MAHA with RFK Jr being on Trump’s team, keeping an eye on him to see if he’ll be able to take on the corrupt elements of Big Pharma and the FDA
Health is very important, heck yes!
Hilarious. Its gonna be great everything
Nothing too drastic will occur. It never does. Tariffs will go up. Things will get more expensive. Rich people will be taxed less the middle class and poor people will be taxed more. There will be another wave of systemic racism perpetuating through American society.
Marijuana will become less legal. For some reason the Republicans still have a thing for weed…
The bottom line the man is 80 years old. It’s very possible that he just may step down at some point, which would probably be worse in the long run.
Israel will get significantly more support to wage genocide and Ukraine will get significantly less support to defend their own country. Trump will push for some sort of concession that Ukraine will give up some of their land and enter into some kind of agreement that they won’t request entry into NATO for a long period of time.
Longer prison sentences for relatively minor crimes…
Hardened anti-abortion rhetoric will continue to work against women simply trying to make medical decisions instead of potentially getting abortions.
Basically the same thing that’s happening now in the country. Just more of it.
The question was about positive things
Great question. I expect more people will move away from identity politics and embrace one of its many criticisms such as queer politics which is more inclusive of everyone.
Scholars have identified queer politics as the opposite of identity politics, aiming to unite diverse marginalized groups and transcend traditional categories.
Now that’s something great to look forward to
I don’t really see him living for another 4 years. I expect his diet, lack of exercise and excess of bike to kill him off; assuming some whackadoodle doesn’t get to him first.
That’s not positive. But I see where you’re coming from, he’s old and not the healthiest.
Let’s hope for the best
absolutely is a positive.
My hope is that people really radicalize and realize that it takes others to really thrive and fight in a world/system/government built to neglect. I how people band together more and build stronger communities and practice mutual aid, etc. And that people learn what white supremacy really is…
I hope, so much, but with the way people in the red have been, “love your neighbor as yourself” is almost an exception rather than the rule it should be.
The end of daylight savings.
Fuckhead almost did it.
Oh heck yes! Normal hours please!
There is a possibility that Elno gets EVs mandated, or at least promoted to a greater extent. Of course this will only be for Tesla, but there would be a ripple effect on other brands.
That would be nice, electric drives nice imo
I’m not holding my breath but this could be a huge turning point for the Democratic party where they may finally follow in the populism playbook that Bernie started in 2016.
My pet theory is that this is our opportunity to decimate the 2 party system.
Only a tenth, huh? Well, you do you.
For people who have 401Ks or other investments, the likely deregulation pushes up stock prices (which is why the stock market had a big bump this week). Oh, sure, those regulations help protect the environment, workers rights, worker health and safety, etc., but:
You know he hasn’t taken office yet, right?
Why without you think I didn’t?
We’re about to see how strong federalism really is. Federalism would either be the last defence against a autocracizing Federal government, or prove to be another joke.
(idk if I even spelled autocracizing correctly, too tired of this bullshit to spell)
State governments are even more corruption lol
We are getting gang band by 3-4 levels of the government along with an oligopoly player banging us in every critical market lol
There is a meme of that white girl…
The torrent of lies and absurd statements should keep the rest of the world entrained. For most Americans, it’s probably going to be horrifying, tragic and/or embarrassing.
Sorry I’m not native English. I’m failing to figure out what “entrained” means here?
It’s evidence of me swiping too fast and not reading the text three times before sending.
It happens, I do that sometimes
should keep the rest of the world entrained.
Sorry, but you guys stopped being fun to watch a while ago.
It’s now gone well beyond train-wreck levels of horrified “can’t look away” viewing.
There’s a lot of information floating around that SOUNDS good. Who knows what kind of things will happen honestly. At best, millions of people suffer and a portion of the population reaps the benefits. What decides how you’ll be affected is your tax bracket.
Kinda hope people find out after fucking around so much
You think this might be a learning experience? For whom?
Republican voters
There’s a good chance he dies.
I don’t think someone else’s death is ever a good thing to hope for
Normally if agree but I’m willing to make exceptions.
The only problem is that then Vance gets to step up and while Trump is willing to use Project 2025 to get what he wants, Vance is one of the authors.
I don’t think someone else’s death is ever a good thing to hope for
I strongly disagree. There are many times where someone else’s death is something to hope for. I think if you try you can think of a few relatively easily.
I think that’s actually a worse scenario. Trump, while evil, doesn’t really have the focus or energy to fully enact the entire range of bullshit he could/people say he will. If Vance takes over, his billionaire puppeteers are in full control and he’ll enthusiastically continue on with Project 2025. If there’s an election in 2028, he gets to run with the advantages of being the incumbent President instead of a VP taking over from his predecessor.
But then we get a couch fucker as president.
I’m hoping he does before the inauguration.
My money’s on choking to death on a burger while sitting on a toilet and jerking it to a picture of his daughter.
Great, President Vance is cuming for your couches.
The best case scenario: Trump, Vance and RFK Jr. all take the same Boeing flight to the inauguration and it crashes.
I understand the sentinment but understand that a majority of voters voted for them.
Americans have decided they’d be willing to risk fascism for a chance of the gas prices drop by 5 cents.
They die then Speaker of the House Mike Johnson is president. He will baselessly claim the democrats shot down the plane.
There will be a nationwide purge of any non-maga-republicans.
I call that “God’s ultimate veto”
